Because I am currently battling Ovarian Cancer I find myself asking what time do I have left to give my grandchildren.  My husband and siblings have had me forever and we are adults.  However the grandchildren; they are the ones who will miss out on the special love only grandparents can give.  It's filled with no conditions, and a deep understanding of the love a child should have.  If we as grandparents  could get the message out;  we are here for our children.  Giving what we can. Our time which is the most important thing a parent or grandparent can do. 

 So many parents have to work today to make ends meet.  Everytime I see the prices of food and gas my heart goes out to these kids trying to raise a family under these economic conditions. Making grandparents even more important to the family.  We can be the lifesaver when kids are feeling alone.  We can be the safe harbor when they need a place to go. Cook a grandma dinner or even ask them to bake cookies with grandma. 

Please, during these times, don't under estimate the power of a hug or kind word from grandma and grandpa.  Give us a chance to once again be the anchor of the family.  We're here waiting for that chance.

  I hope I live to be a 100 so I can watch my two youngest grandchildren William 13 and Noah 5 grow up more.  I'm 62 and with my  cancer...we never know what time we have so I know if I win the lottery my first thing to do...spend more time with Noah and William.

  The love and the light they give me in my heart is priceless..

 Hugs and blessings to all grandparents who care..hoping more parents give us the time to be part of the family today.  Sharing our experience and wisdom..

 I couldn't go with her as I have my final Chemo treatment Monday and we were afraid the exposure to the sick children could affect me and my compromised immune system.  My sister went and stayed with Noah and my daughter.

 When your children or grandchildren are sick your whole world stands still.  I brought out my rosary and I prayed.  I kept asking God to bring light and strength to my family.  There is so much we have to endure in todays world, I wonder how we sometimes continue to be so strong.  Of course I know my answer is God.  Noah is alright.  They think he has a virus and sent him home after being thorough with their testing.

 As grandparents we have to be there for our family.  I can't wait until Monday so I can resume my normal life again.  This has been a long and hard six months.  Time lost, we'll never regain. I've learned so much and I'm grateful my side effects have been minimal.  Although I have no eyebrows and no hair...and as mentioned no bad hair days..this I don't mind...

  I'll keep you posted about Noah...my precious youngest grandson.  Wishing you and your family the best.
